Ngw YORK, May lo.-PerslsteGcy anC
~atience achieved q notable victory yes
,erdav and Inc Irisk committee of vel
come at last found NJ. William O'Brien
This they accomplished in the dead o
night eocCl forty miles from New YOrE
IN dense log and in damp, disma
weather. Never, perhaps, has there beer
2 more wi5rd and extraordinary scene
than that which took place when the com
mittccs steamer got along side the i'm
meISe CunarGer, the Umbria. There is g
rOUsing cheer which IS answered from the
bic steamer, but when a second cheer IS
given for William O'Brien and Ireland, j
they were nor all cheers that responded,
Some Of the cheers were for Lord
LansdOwue Then out upon that
neav.ng sea in the midst of the fog and
damp sleets. the English and Irish antag-
onists found abundant vent. "God Save
me Queen" and "GOd Save Ireland
hacked snd heWed each other, and ieeI
qnd iibe and taunt passed across the IN
tervening tide. "Take that line" was
roughly spoken from the smaller vessel,
and the answer came from Captain Nc
Mackln- What do you mean by coming
alongside and treating Us like dogs?"
Then they inferred that they would not
let anYbOdv on board without q health
officers permit. He was informed thst 3
doctor was on board, and also & custom
house officer Then he was told that
O'Brlen was wanted from the Umbria, as
was also Bishop Ireland. "Take him.
said q voice, referring to O'Brien, "We'u
have clear weather, now that Jonah is
gOing.'
bIr. O'BTien came TO the gangway and
said: care there my friends of mine on
board who wish me 10 90 to New York
tO-nighc?"
"Yes," was the ringing answer,
Then I sGaA 60" said Mr.. O'Brien,
"in compliment to the towards on board
this ship"
The process Of the transfer was tedious
and difficult Bishop Ireland elected to
remain on board, but Mr. 0'Brien
and the other passengers came
down the ladder. The Irish patriot
was warmly welcomed and there
was 3 renewal Of taunss, cheers AID
counter cheers IS the vessels grew faint
10 each other in the fog. Mr.. O'Brien's
passage had not been all Unmixed
pleasure. He was subjected TO various
annOy6nces by his fellow passengers.
Bishop Ireland on one occasion rebuked
them, saying that he could call up 600
passengers from the steerage who would
drown them out. This one of the pas
sengers affected to regard as g threat.
After some preliminary amenities Mr..
V'Brien was presented with an address
which was sept out last night in anticipe-
ton OF his arrival.
Mr.. O'Brien thanked the committee for
the unexpected welcome. He regretted
the severity of The weather by which their
hospitality had been tested Then he
spoke OF the Irish spirit, which it was i'm
possible to come in contact with without
feeling that Irelsnd's cause was immortal.
He sad he would not then make
anything Of speech. He would say
ne WaS engaged upon what was perhaps
to some extent g dangerous mission
Lord LanSGOwne had beer chosen by the
landlords as the pioneer and champion of
that body in the work of determination.
Iaey had not been able to stem the tor
rent Of eyictions, but they had been
a0-l to protect the tenants who
MA mao the pluck 20 adopt
me plan OF campaign and stand by it.
Flye hundred poor tenants had been
eycteo IN three months Of this year in
ireland, but all those who adopted the
pan OF campaign were fed &nd maintained
ouL OF the landlords rentals as long as
penny remained. The consequence was
tlat iney had made evictions expensive.
L2Td L2nsdOWne had made the Lugga
CurTan case g lest case, and he mad
come here TO make il test case, too, and
meet MIN on the steps Of his own throne.
II Lord LandsOwne thought he could
carry on these eviCtiOns he mt. 0'Brien)
thought there were 1000, GgC Irish Cana
u!anS who would want TO know the rea-
son why. He asked the Canadians to be
me Judges. He then referred to the trying
Tine IN Ireland at present, but he thought
they had leader On whom they could
rely. Never before We're the people OF
ireland so hopeful, and never before were
thelT enemies in such dismGY. Tap

Hugh Mccartney then extended an in
ut2tlOn to O'Briel to visit Philadelphia,
promising him q Eousing reception. The
gentlemen present were then introduced

exchanged as the boat made its way to
ne city. On his arrival ne wss driven to
he Hoffman house
william Smith ,O'Brien, editor Of
United ireland, was seen at the H Gilman
